Question

Two numbers are such that the ratio between them is 3 :5. If each is increased by 5,the ratio between the new numbers so formed is2:3 find the original numbers? ​

Answer 1

Answer:let the number be x

Therefore, the ratio will be 3x:5x

3x+5/5x+5=2:3

3(3x+5)=2(5x+5)

9x+15=10x+10

9x-10x=10-15

-x=-5

x=5

Therefore the original numbers will be 3x=3*5=15

5x=5*5=25
